Don't know if this is the right place - perhaps the Mods can relocate it if it isn't.

Bob Dobson has had his system hi-jacked and emails are going out purporting to come from Bob, with various requests for money - These are scams, delete.

I have just spoken with Bob's wife and she has requested that I put a post on here.
 
I got one too.

I couldn't think of a good reason why I would want to repatriate him from the Phillippines :D

I've had one but I've returned it to the sender


[email protected]
 
I've got one but I sent him the money before I realised it was a scam!

If you look it's not his email address either. Reading it who would be stupid enough to be taken in? I suppose some must be or these rogues wouldn't keep doing it.
 
Thing is if owt like that happens,as it did to me oer 40yrs ago, its just a matter of going to the embassy/consulate, they will sort yeh out,providing yer n householder in U.K. suppose thats fer collateral.;) I actually responded wi that info hours ago, as Bob never replied, it confirmed what i already thought.

I do wonder who gets taken in by these messages.
 
Just a thought, by opening the email we haven't let the hacker into our systems, have we?

If you get one off me it's genuine,honest, send the money straight away, now that Less and Eric have let me down times are bad!

Why does that not surprise me cashy:D:D
 
Yahoo tell me that my troubles started in Nigeria. It seems to me that the thing NOT to do is to reply to the message., as by doing sdo, they might gain access to your contacts and emails. I appear to have lost all my inbox and sentbox, and perhaps my contacts, thiough yahoo are working on it (and have been for 12hrs so far) I had free AVG and it looks like that wasn't good enough. I have paid for an upgrade, which I have been told is 'for ever' AND got a year'sworth of free assistance.

That's all very well, Bob, but can you arrange an immediate refund of my 2300 Euros? I will also require an admin fee of £10. Thanks.
